Another significant improvement to LEO in the last year has been in its multilingual capabilities. Users of the LEO website and online tools may now choose the language they would like to work in: English, French, Spanish, and others.
In addition to supporting observers and hubs working in different languages, we have also enhanced our capability to publish in multiple languages. For example, it is now possible to receive an observation in Spanish, and then translate it and publish it in both French and/or English. Our hub partners in Mexico (GECI) have used this feature extensively.
In addition to the immediate benefit of supporting French and Spanish speakers in North America, the capability to work in non-English languages has allowed us to pursue new partnerships, such as in Scandinavia and in Iñupiaq and Yup'ik communities in Alaska.
